ATHENS - Kirby Smart and UGA Football will face the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in Atlanta Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The game will kick off at 3:30 p.m. on ABC.
A new tradition appears to be headed to a very old rivalry. UGA Football and Georgia Tech will face one another on Black Friday again this season - a move announced previously by Disney, but confirmed with a 3:30 kickoff time on ABC.
The Jackets and Dawgs played an epic eight-overtime thriller in 2024. The game was one of the most-watched games of the college football season. 8.5 million viewers tuned into the primetime affair - making it the most-watched edition of Clean Old Fashioned Hate ever.
The 44-42 UGA football win was was the first time since the 1990s that Tech-UGA has been played on a non-Saturday.
Clean Old Fashioned Hate on Black Friday appears to be something that Disney intendeds to continue. This season the Bulldogs will be a part of a monster triple header on ABC that starts at noon with either Utah at Kansas of Ole Miss-State in the Egg Bowl; then Tech-UGA in Atlanta at 3:30; then A&M-Texas following at 7:30.
Georgia enters the 2025 season with high expectations once more. Kirby’s tenth season in Athens features seven home games - and neutral-site showdowns with two of the program’s major rivals. UGA football will face the Gators in Jacksonville once again, but add a Black Friday fight with Tech at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Both of those games are scheduled for 3:30 kickoffs on ABC.
The Bulldogs have two massive home games in 2025. Georgia will host Alabama on September 27. The two programs have combined to win five national titles since Alabama last visited Athens in 2015. Texas makes its first appearance in Athens in program history. The two programs met in the 2024 SEC Championship Game in December. The Bulldogs beat Texas in overtime to win Georgia’s 15th SEC title - second most all time.
Kirby’s Dawgs look get back to the College Football Playoff in 2025. The Bulldogs fell to Notre Dame in January at the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. The loss concluded the Dawgs’ 11-3 season in 2024. As of late May 2025, UGA is considered one of the favorites to win the national title according to BET MGM (Ohio State, +500 | Texas +500 | UGA +650 | Penn State +750 | Oregon +800).
